LAPTOP Magazine • Sony VAIO VGN-UX180P
A true feat of design and engineering, the Sony VAIO UX Series Micro PC puts the power of a full-sized notebook into the palm of your hands. Designed for highly mobile professionals—or gadget hounds that love to show off—this Windows XP system crams a remarkable amount of technology into a 1.2-pound frame, including a surprisingly peppy Intel Core Solo processor, two cameras, and a fingerprint sensor. And unlike Samsung’s more affordable but underwhelming Q1 UltraMobile PC, this device sports a keyboard and wireless WAN capability. The question is whether users are truly ready to compute on a PSP-sized screen.
